Encapsulation Sports Bra/ Sports Bra

I have ordered many different sports bras and none of them seem to do the job. I currently wear Champion Max Support Powerback Underwire and Seamless criss cross max support bras. I wear a tank top with built in bra with the seamless and wear the other with a normal tank top. I still bounce way too much and can't seem to find one that works (plus I have bad chaffing in one spot with the Powerback). I just read something about an encapsulation sports bra.Any suggestions by experience for a 32DD that has no bounce?

Go check out athleta's website - they have a good selection with rating systems for what they can support. Many of theirs are Moving Comfort. I'm generally smaller busted but insist on feeling cinched down and I love theirs! When I was pregnant and nursing, MC was the way to go. Also check out Road Runner Sports's website. They have some videos of real women testing and telling you about different bras. There's even one with a video of a 32D telling why she likes that bra. They also have some on sale right now.

I ordered a CWX X Tempo in a 32D. ( I need a 32DD, but thats all they had) I tried it on but haven't ran in it yet. I moved a little when I jumped around so I will see how it does... I also ordered an Enell bra in a 00. I wasn't sure the size because I was borderline 00, but afraid the 0 would be too loose. Hopefully these will work but I also want to try the Juno bra.

I was looking into the Juno bra, but wherever it was they didn't have a 34E. Now I'm kinda thinking: would it be as well for me to go for the 34DD now??

because realistically I will lose a bit of weight around my chest in the coming weeks/months as I'm really only starting out running and am carrying a decent amount of excess fat... I know the support is imp, but I'm a student and can't really afford to shell out 50 odd quid every few weeks coz im floating around in a bra too big for me... any suggestions?

Helena324, that is the size I bought and it works great, depending on the brand of bras I am a DDD or an E. I would recommend you finding a store in your area that carries them and try them on to know you are getting the right size. You can tighten the straps, so if you do lose weight, that will help to keep the girls in place. Hope this helps!

Update on the CW-X, I could have gotten a size smaller! I really like it and it reduces a lot of the bounce! So I think sometimes a cup or two smaller might be helpful. I was also thinking I am probably not a 32DD in every bra so maybe that's why some are bigger than others. I'm still waiting on my others I ordered to get here to try!

However, the ONLY bra I have ever been able to wear on its own is the Moving Comfort Juno bra. It's tough to get into, but once it's on I can wear it completely on its own and it's fantastic!

As a 32D I LOVED the MC Juno bra. I bought 2 of them. Love the adjustable hook back, racer back (still cute with tanks!), adjustable straps (important for a short-torso'd gal like myself), and thick enough for cold days.

MC Fiona's not bad too, but has straight straps, so it's not good for racer back tanks.

I went to a sports shop recently and picked up the "Z sport Evolution" (Pretty sure it's a French company.) It was the one with level 5 support so I went for it. It zips up the front too, which I wasn't sure about but it's fine so far. I went for a size lower, so instead of 34E I got the 34D (no DD).

When I wore it I teamed it with those running tops that have the added support around the chest area (yano the ones that the likes of adidas do?) and I was really happy with it. I also teamed the old running bra with the extra support running top another night and there was also a difference there too, so I'm gonna stick with the added support it gives. I just felt more secure and that lead to what felt like an easier run, though that could have been in my head!

I will admit though that getting the tight fitting running top off over my E's nearly put out my shoulder!

If you are looking for a really good sports bra, I highly recommend Wacoal - they only have one model and it's fabulous! I never see any comments on this bra company on any of the sports websites, but it is a very well made bra, not the most attractive one, but my "girls" don't move - ever! It has soft underwire, so no "uniboob" and I find it very comfortable. Standard construction, so no acrobatics needed to get it on and hoooked properly. I am a 36DD in regular bras and a 32DDD in their sports bras - yes the sizing does run differently so do try it on. I am a fairly small woman (5'0) with a large chest - I have tried all of the popular makers - Champion, Moving Comfort, and this is by far my favorite. The only unusual aspecct is that when I went to get fitted, I felt the fit was "tight" at first until I got used to it - ultimately, the fit was perfect and very supportive. It is a bit on on the pricey side, but it is well made, so my bras are still supportive after a year's worth of wearing them at least twice a week!
